Today I got an official looking envelope from ###CON in the mail. We're a CON now, instead of SON. They tell me it's a big honor. My tuition dollars hard at work--changing every bit of ###SON letterhead to ###CON.
But I digress.
Inside the envelope was an official looking letter informing me I'd been selected for a Clinical Excellence Award for my work in my Pediatrics clinical. It isn't some huge fantastic honor--I'll only get an official-looking cheesy certificate--but it is very nice to be recognized by the faculty for my hard work.
I was chosen last semester for the Clinical Excellence Award for my Psych clinical, but I didn't get the letter/invitation to the reception until the morning of, too late to arrange childcare. But not this semester. The reception is a week from tonight. I wonder if they'll be serving martinis now that we're the sophisticated ###CON?
I got shut out my Jr I semester because my clinical instructor couldn't decide between two of us. So she just told us both we *would* have won...
It's appropriate to send a shout-out to my wife who won a Clinical Excellence Award every semester she was in nursing school--the suck up. ;)
Of course when she went to our nursing school, it was still a SON, not a CON, so I think I've got her in the end.
You are so funny! Congrats on the Clinical Excellence from your CON!!!! I am proud to have colleagues like you and Mrs. Drofen, however separated we are by space--though I was involved with a very nice man out in Southlake a couple months ago. :P I was out visiting at the end of February (AFTER the recordbreaking snow) - beginning of March and it was gorrrgeous!
ReplyDeleteOoookay done oversharing! Hahaha
YAY!!! Congrats! It's always nice to be recognized for working hard. - even if it is just a cheesy certificate. :p
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI was a member of honor societies in college. Same deal. It's just a piece of paper. But then when I graduated they started calling me to come back and do the initiations...in Latin, with candles and it just felt weird.
At lease I assume your honors certs don't involve a cult?

Congrats man!!
ReplyDeleteAndrea--wow! You should have let me know! Sorry you missed the snow, it was record-breaking, haha!!
ReplyDeleteIJM--I agree, it really is a nice little award.
POP--That's greatness, Latin, aye? No culting that I'm aware of, although this will be my first ceremony.
SAMTNS--Thanks, 'preciate it.
